Timing and Prediction The Code from BasalGanglia to Thalamus

When is an inhibitory synapse not inhibitory? In this issue of Neuron, Person and Perkel demonstrate that thalamic neurons can translate extrinsic GABAergic input from the basal ganglia into highly precise patterns of sustained spiking in a circuit that is essential for vocal learning in songbirds. Postinhibitory rebound serves as a mechanism that preserves precise spike timing information, ena...

Title: Differential Contributions of Basal Ganglia and Thalamus to Song 1 Initiation, Tempo, and Structure 2 3

20 Basal ganglia-thalamocortical circuits are multi-stage loops critical to motor behavior, 21 but the contributions of individual components to overall circuit function remain unclear. 22 We addressed these issues in a songbird basal ganglia-thalamocortical circuit (the 23 anterior forebrain pathway, AFP) specialized for singing and critical for vocal plasticity. 24 The major known afferent to...
